If you aren’t sure what is and isn’t a valid claim on work-related or income expenses, check out our quick explainer video:

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has recently indicated it is aiming to recover debt to the value of $2.9 billion from Australia’s taxpayers from the 2017-18 tax period alone, so make sure you are claiming all that is rightfully yours!  

nestegg has more information on what you can claim here.

We’ve also reported on some of the tax deductions you definitely should not attempt to claim.

If you have attempted to claim things you shouldn’t have, it’s not too late to make things right, with the ATO asking Australians to “fess up” for incorrect or accidental claims.
